                                   and

                     Integrated Computer Solutions

This document provides Release Notes for the release of Motif 2.3.4.

This contains information on what is new in Motif 2.3.4. 

Please see the COPYING file included with this release.

Introduction

This document and accompanying text files contain important information. 

Please read them carefully before starting the build and

installation procedures.

There are two ways to build Motif from source code: Imake and AutoTools.

If you are using Imake, please read INSTALL.imake for notes on how to build

and install this product using Imake. This method is deprecated due to

a lack of support. Users wishing to apply/test and patch the Imake system

should join the development mailing list; all contributions are welcome.

Please see the file INSTALL.configure on how to build and install this product

using the autoconf tools. This method is now fully supported and 

is the recommended build method.

Motif user interface component toolkit. Motif is built on top of the

   (integer overflows) and CAN-2004-0688 (stack overflows)].

   demonstrations in the periodic demo.

   in the Release Notes but absent from the source distribution.

   available from the CVS tree.

   It was added back in this update.

   files were updated to use the proper #include files.

e. The directory demos/unsupported/motifshell contained no source code but 

   was mentioned in configure.in. The proper source code was placed 

   in this directory.

   reference was removed.

g. The demos for the new widgets were originally placed in the directory 

   demos/programs/newwidgets. To maintain consistency, they were moved 

   to demos/programs.
